The Official 2012 NFL Combine Thread

[SandoVOL]

Post notables here.

OL and TE's bench pressed friday night.

TE Orson Charles had 35 reps

OL D Molk finished with 41 reps, 3rd most by a OL.

 

[005]

Robert Griffin ran a 4.38 forty yard dash. So there's that.

Stephen hill, Georgia tech wideout, ran a 4.30. Very impressive.

 

[SandoVOL]

Also Andrew luck with a 36" vertical, and a 10'4 Broad jump. Very impressive. Compare to Cam Newton last year 35" - 10'6

Jordan Jefferson also ran a 4.5 and has an impressive looking arm so far. Can't wait for the running backs.

 

[TennesseeOrange]

Tauren Poole with 24 reps on bench.

Lennon Creer with 21.

Very Nice I didn't know the RBs had started yet.

 

[SandoVOL]

Luck also just ran a 4.59 40 unofficial, same time as Cam last year. I'm kind of surprised by these nearly identical numbers

Underwear Olympics or a good way to evaluate talent?

I think it's a little bit of both but game tapes don't lie and I think how a player did in college is the best way to project their NFL ability.

 

[Tennakey]

RG3 insane for a QB that can throw.

At this point, the NFL Combine and NFL talent evaluation is miles ahead of where the NBA is. Sure, the NFL isn't perfect, but there are nowhere near as many Hindenburg busts (percentage wise) as the NBA has had.

...one of the best things about the combine is what you don't see, mental evaluation and the ability to digest the playbook.

A lot of guys can play in college on the fringes of a scheme with a lot of room to freelance. But not everyone can commit to a devoted scheme with responsibilities.

WTF was Darron Thomas thinking?

Running backs on the field now.

Creer 1st unofficial 40: 4.59

 

[TennesseeOrange]

Poole's first unofficial 40 time: 4.53

 

[underscore]

Martin with a 4.47 at 223. Wow.

 

[TennesseeOrange]

Martin with a 4.47 at 223. Wow.

Yeah. Martin and Turbin put up some good numbers. Turbin: 222 lbs put up 28 reps and ran a 4.44.

 

[005]

Is Lamichael running

Every-down back type numbers if the mental intangibles are there.

James ran two 4.37's.

Shew.

Stephen Hill is still the biggest shocker to me.

 

[underscore]

Rainey looking like Revis out there.

 

[underscore]

Turbin is a beast!

 

[TennesseeOrange]

Turbin is a beast!

He looks like he could curl 225 lbs 28 times.

He looks like he could curl 225 lbs 28 times.

Right after waking up.

Stephen hill, Georgia tech wideout, ran a 4.30. Very impressive.

officially his 40 is a 4.41

but that's still quite good, especially for a QB

Luck with a 4.67 officially. Mayock is acting like Luck will be able to run like Cam, but he lacks the burst and cutting ability Cam has. Still an impressive performance nonetheless...
